FRIDAY,
Some Objections Answered.
A COMMUNICATION from Mr. W. T. Campbell, on the
subject of tho proposed McKenzie water bonds is
published in this edition of Tho Guard. Mr. Campbell
writes that he is for clean water at any cost, but objects to
the issuance of bonds for the lower McKenzie project,
mainly as wo understand his argument, 'on tho very same
or similar ground taken by The Guard until a few days
ago, which wus that as long as we have to use filtered wa
ter wo might as well stick to the present source of supply
as to go to a new source of supply whose water still would
require filtration.
That argument would be sound but for one highly
Important fact, which is that there is potential danger
in depending upon the present source of water supply
finv longer than is absolutely necessary. The city wells
which were the source when tho present system was in
stalled have failed completely. 'City water now comes
from the river and the point of intake is below the
outfall of the sewer which drains the city of Springfield.
By the processing which it undergoes our city water is
made pure. Anv sort of failure of vigilance or any acci
dent which might let unfiltered water into the mains
would result in disaster. Tho Guard has stated these
facts heretofore, in announcing its own change of view
concerning tho water project. It repeats them hero for
the reason that Mr. Campbell's communication appears
not to havo taken them into consideration.
Mr. Campbell criticizes the project of .unking the
point of intako for tho McKenzie project on the north,
or far, side of tho river, instead of on the south, or near,
ride. A perfectly logical reason for the plan as proposed
csists. If the pipeline wero to bo started from tho point
of required elevation for tho purpose of gravity flow
and on the south side of tho river, it would of necessity
lie routed, before getting away from tho river; bed, over or
through ground which frequently shifts or is torn up at
flood periods. It would not be practicable to give the
liipeliiin stability nt all seasons in this ground.. It might
lie swept away.' But by locating the point of diversion
on the north side of tho stream at tho point of required
elevation, tho pipelino can be laid in solid rock across
and nwnv from tho river, nnd thus bo secured against
daninge ly flood or washout. It is a difference of con
figuration. Compotent consulting engineers havo agreed,'
after investigation, with the water board engineers upon
tho foregoing facts. A further reason for starting the
pipelino from the north bank is that when the time comes
in fnturo years for extending tho pipeline to Clear lake
or some other source high up in tho mountains, whence
water will be brought in absolutely pure, the pipeline
will need to follow the north bank route on account of
tho road which already exists along that shore and whose
exiKtence'will obviate the necessity of constructing a now
road to-carry thp machinery anil supplies, as would be
tho case if the construction were carried along the south
shore.
Mr. Campbell writes that the water board "has issued
no official statement of plans or purposes, and this only
a week, before election." Water Superintendent McClain,
who is fully conversant with all details of tho water
board's plans anil is, in a measure, its official spokesman,
has been appearing these past few days before public
meetings wherever opportunity offered and explaining the
McKenzie project fully and frankly, illustrating his ex
planations by means of charts. How could the water
board state its plans and purposes more effectively than
by this method !
As to the contention that Hendricks bridge rather than
Jlayden bridge should have been chosen as the point
of intake, surely not Mr. Campbell nor anybody believes
the water board .has acted othe'rwise than on its best
judgment in this regard. Its judgment is an informed
iuUrment, because it is based on the advice of eom-
iwitniir .mtv nnrl nmiKllltinir nno-imtar-i nflor full inVAetifro

The Guard is in complete

supply, water that will be pure without filtration. "I

A Mr, J. li. Couloo, whoso name tloes not apioar in the
city directory or tho telephone directory, nor on tho Lane
county tx roll, writes to the Register to express, among
other things, the view that Tha Guard's sources of in for
inntton must he faulty in regard to homl matters. Possibly
when it is in need of authoritative information ajrnin
concerning niuurs, i he Uunru may try to get it from Mr,
Con loo, if it can find a gentleman whoso namo does not
appear in the city directory or the telephone directory,
nor on the Lane countv tax roll.

Refeoning tha Courts In Oregon.
(Medford Mail-Tribune)
The Chicago Tribune opinea that
even if they are guilty Messrs. Fall,
Sinclair and Dobeny, can, by tbe judi
cious use of - money, keep out of jail
for ten or 15 years.
. "Unfortunately, tbe criminal
procedure in tbe United Statea ia
designed not to convict the
guilty, but to protect the inno
cent. Better let ten guilty people
escape thao run the risk of even
annoying one innocent party.
Fundamentally that doctrine may
be sound. But tradition and prac
tice bave so hedged red tape en
tanglementa about the malefactor,
a prompt conviction of any guilty
person with money ia utterly im
possible. We don't need a change
In tbe fundamental law, perhaps,
but we do need a change in pro
cedure. Protecting the innocent
has been overdone. We should
pay a little more attention to
punishing the guilty."
There is considerable good sense In
this statement. The two outstanding
weaknesses in American court pro
cedure, are first, tha encouragement
given technical evasions and second,
the law's delay.
In a meeting called for June S in
Portland, the recently organised judi
cial council will start upon the im
portant work of instituting reforms In
the legal procedure in this state
Southern Oregon will be particularly
interested in the progress of this
movement, for this district hss been
honored by having Circuit Judge C. M.
Thomas selected as a member of tbe
council. I
The initiation of this reform effort
is not only of interest to the legal
profession, but of supreme importsnee
to every resident of southern Oregon
end the state. The people believe in
luw enforcement. They believe In
prompt justice for every individual re
gardless of whether that individual is
rich or poor. And finally they are
convinced that' the present system of
court procedure, in need of radical
change and readjustment to attain
these ends.
This judicial council, in attempting
to initiate reforms msy be opposed by
some members of their own profes
sion, but If they succeed in making it
a little more difficult for the trans
gressor to escape; a little less dif
ficult snd less eipenslve for the
average citizen to fecure prompt jus
tice, thoy will receive the hearty sup
port and the lasting gratitude of the
people at large.
A Foolish Referendum.
(Salem Capital Journal)
The Portland News is sponsoring
sn effort to launch a referendum upon
the legislative measure requiring thst
ten per cent of the receipts of all
stste commissions be diverted to tbe
ganersl fund for state expenses. Tbe
announced inspiration of the referen
dum is tbe loss of funds by tbe st;ite
game commission, which will have tu
curb its irresponsible expenditures a
tenth.
This diversion bill is an emergency
measure necessttsted to rsite required
revenue by indirect tsxstion. If ref
erended. it will cause serious rm
bsrrassment to stste finances for tbe
next two yesrs. The atste must either
o upon a warrant basis, or a special
session of the legislature be sum
moned, to provide new sources (,f
revenue.
This referendum, like others pro
posed on taxation, can only result in
embarassing the state and injuring it
financially. It rs therefore not tbe

dum, although the commission and it
employes probably are. The general

placed upon tbe budgrt sys

fund. All appropriations should be

The pelfcy of giving spending bds
control of taxation and revenues is
absurd, and leads to waste.

OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM HELD BEST
Commissioner of Education Savs Chief Virtue is Schools Are
Not Centralized
By CHARLES I STEWART
(N'EA Service Writer)
WASHINGTON, April 30.
Though America's school system is
in process of readjustment to meet
modern needs, snd just now is disor
ganized bj it, to some extent, yet,"
said United States Commissioner of
Education John J. Tiger.," "it is the
best school system in the world to
day. "True, a few countries outdo us in
the matter of literary.
"With one exception, however, they
are small, with homogeneous popula
tions, like Denmark.
"America is vast, its population Is
very mixed, including comparatively
newly'arrived illiterates from many
lands. That these people are unedu
cated is no fault of American schools.
"The single exception a country
of large population, if of not great
area is Germany. Hut Germany's
educational system was much like her
military system highly centralized.
Germans wen driven to school prac
tically at the hnynnet'a point. In tin
final result, this didu't prove very
satisfactory.
"American education excels in
availability. It cin't he so murb the
latter, because it isn't centralized,
like Germany's.
"Tbf glory of our schools is that
they are nut centralized. They have
developed powerfully bemuse the
communities they were for, wanted
them, created them for tbemselveH
and saw to it that they did develop.
Their growth was natural, not forced.
At first there were communities
where public education was opposed.
If the federal government bad tried to
force it on them, before thv were
ready, they would have rebelled. Sorb

"Tho old life was aiinplo. Education
ran on one track. It was academic,

more and more studies until, unavoid
ably, they are less thorough than tbey
were. Many of tho additions were in
dispeustble, to make education prac
tical, useful to make it fit tbe times.
.Yet, with such a multiplicity of sub
jecra crowding one another, a careful
scrutiny is necessary, and perhaps a
weeding out.
"Indeed, this is being done. I doubt
